Le Lagon Blanc

Le Lagon Blanc is not operating at the moment (as of end 2013)

Le Lagon Blanc is the name of a boat which operates day excursions to the beautiful Emerald Sea. The service is offered by the owners of the small beach restaurant Gargotte Le Lagon in Ramena.

Day-trippers will sail on board Le Lagon Blanc with the experienced Sakalava Captain Michel and his crew to the Emerald Sea for a beautiful day in a large lagoon. The exact departure time in the morning from Ramena Beach depends on the tide. After a visit to the villages of Andovonkoko and Babaomby, Michel sails across the lagoon to Nosy Suarez for a picnic lunch on the beach. The waters around the island are full of sea life and ideal for snorkelling. With a bit of luck one may even catch an octopus.

The location also offers perfect conditions for those who have already a good level of expertise in kitesurfing and windsurfing. Beautiful waves break along the coral reef about half a mile offshore Suarez Island.
